52: Threat

"Village Chief Chen, can't you see this?" Old man Wang said with an inexplicable smile.

"Brother Wang, you are also here, who are you?"

The village chief made a look like he had just seen them, and at the same time gestured with his eyes what the group of people in the Wang family meant.

"Village Chief Chen, I won't go around in circles with you, their Chen family wants to sell my granddaughter, our old Wang family doesn't agree, and our Wangjia Village doesn't agree, this is to come to their old Chen family to ask for an explanation, why do you want to sell my granddaughter."

Old man Wang was very confident, and he looked like he came to the door to explain the law.

"That is, the daughters of our Wangjia Village are not sold if they want to."

The people from Wangjia Village are also very powerful, and the old man Wang answered as soon as he finished speaking.

Village Chief Chen was a little powerless, and now it suddenly became a matter of two villages, not just two families.

In the past, he could still think that this was a private matter of the two families and only persuaded him a few words, but now the situation has obviously changed, the original Wang family has become Wangjia Village, and he can't do it now if he wants to, since Wangjia Village has been involved, their Chen Family Village must not stay out of the matter, who let the Chen family be from their village.

"That is, I think in the future, if people know that the people of Chenjia Village will sell their granddaughters at will for their own selfishness, it must be not so convenient for people in the village to marry wives and daughters in the future."

Erlin said lightly on the side, I have to say, Erlin has grasped the weakness of these people, we can't control your Chen family's selling granddaughters, but if it involves them, it won't work.

Moreover, Erlin is not wrong in what he said, now people have to inquire about marrying wives and daughters, not only about the family, but also about the atmosphere of the village.

If there is really a rumor of Chenjia Village's sale of his granddaughter for his own private use in the future, then the future may really be uncertain, although it is the Chen family's own business, but people from other villages only think that it is from your Chenjia Village, who knows if the people in your Chenjia Village are the same.

"Who is this?"

Village Chief Chen can't underestimate Erlin at this time, the one who can say this casually is definitely not an ordinary person, he was a scheming person before.

"This is my sister-in-law, and Xiaoxiang is my niece."

Erlin pointed to Wang Meihua and Xiaoxiang and said to the village chief.

"I wonder if the village chief thinks what I said is right?"

Erlin didn't let go of the village chief, and then asked again, if they could pull the village chief and the people in the village to their side, their chances of winning would be even greater.

Village Chief Chen didn't want to admit it, but he also had to admit that what Erlin said was true, and the people in the village didn't say it, and who knew what people outside the village would say about their village.

Moreover, this person was clearly threatening him, if their Chen family had to sell his niece, he wouldn't mind spreading the word about it and ruining the reputation of their village.

"By the way, I forgot to tell the village chief, I'm a carpenter."

"A carpenter with good skills." Boss Wang silently added a sentence at the end.

“……”

Was this telling him that he had the power to spread the word about it? A carpenter means that he can have many places to go and pass on, a carpenter with good craftsmanship means that he has a good reputation, what he says is generally believed by others, and it is possible to go to some rich and noble homes.

Although those rich and noble families don't have any opinions on their Chenjia Village, they don't know what they will do if they reveal two sentences casually.

Maybe in the end, it will become that the people of their Chenjia Village forced people to sell their granddaughters, and the reputation of their Chenjia Village will really be ruined.

Village Chief Chen felt that this person was too ruthless, he didn't want them to stand by at all, and he had to stand on their side.

"What do you think, village chief?"

Erlin asked again without hurry.

Village Chief Chen looked at the villagers around him and was waiting for his answer, and he couldn't help but blame himself: What are you doing here, are you causing trouble.

However, he also knew that there were so many people from other villages in the village, and he, as the village head, would definitely come to see it, so he could only think about it in his heart.

Village Chief Chen glanced at the villagers of Chenjia Village, and finally looked at Erlin and said, "You are right, it is true, I am not afraid of crooked shadows, I believe that things will not come to that point." ”

"Really? Village Chief, do you believe what you say? Even if you believe it, the people in your village believe it, but do the people from other villages believe it? I don't think those people have to be elected in your village, do they? And your village can't digest it, right? ”

Erlin looked at the surrounding villagers of Chenjia Village playfully, and finally looked at the village chief of Chenjia Village.

"You ......"

Village Chief Chen was very unhappy because what Erlin said was the truth.

"Village chief, is what he said true? Will their old Chen family's sale of their granddaughter really affect our marriage of wives and daughters? ”

"Yes, yes, village chief, is what he said true? My second child is talking about kissing, what if it's yellow? ”

"Yes, my daughters have discussed the marriage date, will it have an impact?"

"Village chief, you can't let their old Chen family ruin the reputation of our village, there are still so many girls and boys in the village who are waiting to be married, and the girl's family can't be delayed."

"That's it, village chief, can't you help their old Chen family......"

……

There are also smart people in Chenjia Village, and the attitude of the village chief Cong can see that this person is not wrong.

So, words like this kept coming out of the mouths of the surrounding villagers, making the village chief have a big head for a while, how could it become that he was helping the old Chen family by the old Chen family.

"You say, what do you or what do you want?"

Village Chief Chen was very dissatisfied with Erlin, and there was a sense of sowing discord in his words.

"The village chief laughed, we didn't think about anything, we just didn't want my niece to be sold for no reason, whose children are not the hearts and livers of their parents, my eldest sister doesn't want to sell it, no one can force her to sell! I think the village chief understands the hearts of those of us who are relatives. ”

"That's it?"

The village chief didn't believe it, he said so much just for this, he always felt that he had other ideas, but he didn't think of it at the moment.

"That's right, that's all, the village chief thinks we're going to ask for something, we're also reasonable people, and we're just doing this because we cherish our children and pity our wives and sisters."

"Okay, then I'll say a few words for you, I don't know if it's useful or not."

Village Chief Chen compromised in the end, the fault is that the Chen family is not in the Wang family, and he can't help it, he can't just watch Chen Jiacun lose its reputation.

"Then thank you to the village chief, I think the village chief will definitely help us because of the reputation of the village."

Village Chief Chen didn't want to look at Erlin anymore, so he asked people to step forward and let the Chen family open the door, and it was not a matter to stand outside this door all the time.

"Old Chen's family, hurry up and open the door, if I don't, I'll smash it."

The village chief doesn't have much affection for this family, and he has watched it all these years.

The gate of the Chen family is still not open, and the village chief is completely angry, can't he be angry with others just now, can't he still be angry with their family.

"Hurry up, I'll count to three, and if I don't open it, I'll have people smash the door."

"One, two......"

With a "squeak", the door of the Chen family opened, and the old man Chen walked out of it.

"Village chief, you're here, quick, please inside, what's the matter?"

Pretending not to know anything, but no one present believed it.
